I was recently in therapy for around 6 months and for some reason I didn't 'get' it, it just seems to be talking, I can honestly say it didn't help me. It was specifically eating disorder therapy and I'm adamanent that it made me obsess more about food. Basically, it was a bad experience.

I might be starting a new therapy, but more for depression and anxiety, but I'm not sure (having an assessment next week), I'm very wary now though, I feel as though therapy is not really a right match for me... if I need to vent I honestly already have people I can do that too, and with my therapist I felt so uncomfortable, it felt formal and horrible and I fear it would be that way with anyone. But we'll see. It's encouraging to hear that other people have been helped so much with therapy.

edit: I left therapy 2 weeks ago because I hated it, I didn't feel listened to, my therapist basically forced me to fill in a food diary and I tried to explain it was WRONG for ME and I instead was told it helped me and that it was working. I developed a horrible obsession with food because of the diary (moreso than just because of my anorexia) and nobody involved in my treatment would listen to me about it. and my therapy was of such a bad quality it was literally pointless).
